Today we’re covering some of our favorite pieces in this fundraising effort. This list was assembled with the help of @malsheep56, who has been instrumental in organizing and cataloging all the artwork from the event.
100% PROCEEDS
The following items will send 100% of their proceeds from sales to quakeaid.tez.
Limbo is a Lebanese interior architect and multidisciplinary artist based in Istanbul, Turkey who creates Limbos – limbs and faces entwined, an exploration of line and form in the human body in limbo, compressed.
Vadim Kamykov is a Turkish portrait photographer who was driven to mint his first NFT in support of the fundraising efforts for his country. This monochromatic piece has an ethereal quality that denotes depth and vulnerability, beauty and softness.
This piece by Thunsai is a GIF which explores the topographical branching shapes an earthquake takes across a surface. The forms mimic the pulsing of blood through veins and capillaries, the heartbeat we share as humans.
Merchant Coppola creates typographical art which explores the form of the crevice and the pain of the situation faced by the people of Turkey and Syria following the earthquakes.
This typographic artwork is available as an edition of 50 at 2.5 XTZ, with 95% of primary proceeds and royalties of secondary going to the fundraising contract.
Andressa Furletti has created a performance video piece that is both captivating and heartbreaking. The use of the body as an instrument for storytelling the abstract emotions and the physicality of an earthquake was an excellent choice. Her performance evokes distress, helplessness, loss of control. With the audio pairing, this piece envelops the viewer in the building chaos of the moment.
This video piece is available as an edition of 100 at 5 XTZ, 89.95% of primary sales going to the fundraising contract.
This outstanding piece is not available on the primary anymore, but does have some secondary listings. This item sold out 25 editions at 25 tez each, resulting in 625 tez raised for #TezQuakeAid. There are 0% secondary royalties on this item.
CONTINUING EFFORTS
So far over 95,000 tez has been raised, but it’s just the beginning. We’ll be continuing our coverage of #TezQuakeAid with deep dives and interview questions from the artists and other participants throughout the next week.
